What is a PCA ?
your subjective assessment, and continuous reassessment, of an incident, using TENR, based on information known about the situation and the subject’s behaviour.
Definition - Threat
Means any individual/s or group/s, or any act/s, or any thing/s likely to cause harm or that might hinder police in the execution of their duties.
Definition - Exposure
Means the potential for harm (physical or otherwise) to people, or the security of places or things. Exposure can be managed through assessment and planning.
Definition - Necessity
Involves assessing everything that is known about a situation to determine if there is a need for intervention and, if so, whether to act immediately or at another time.
Definition - Response
Means acting in a proportionate and timely manner using
appropriate tactics and tactical options, having considered all the known or reasonably predictable circumstances in any given situation.
What are the different levels of subject behaviour in the TOF ?
- Cooperative
- Passive resistance
- Active resistance
- Assaultive
- GBH or Death
Definition - Cooperative
There is a cooperative and willing response to a police officer’s lawful request or direction. The majority of police/public interactions produce this type of behaviour.
Definition - Passive Resistance
The subject refuses, with little or no physical action, to cooperate with the officer’s lawful direction. This can be in the form of a verbal refusal or consciously contrived physical inactivity (for example, non-violent protesters).
Definition - Active Resistance
This is identified as increased scope and intensity of resistance beyond simple verbal defiance. It includes non-assaultive physical actions such as pulling away, pushing away, or running away in an attempt to prevent control by police.
Definition - Assaultive
This is identified as actively hostile behaviour accompanied by physical actions or an intent, expressed either verbally and/or through body language, to cause physical harm. Examples include kicking, punching or aggressive body language signalling an intent to assault.
Definition - GBH or Death
The subject exhibits actions that the officer believes are intended to, or likely to, cause grievous bodily harm or death to any person. Examples include assaults with a knife, blunt instrument or firearm, or other actions that may result in a grievous injury/death to an officer or member of the public.
